We are getting reports of unruly renters and guests, vandalism, and disrespectful behavior, and no one is quite sure how to handle them. Senior week(s) is the worst, but problems occur throughout the summer. If you see issues with renters or any other guests at our building DO NOT attempt to address them directly. The odds are that you won't be successful and you set yourself up for retribution.

The OC Police have no tolerance for anyone who is ruining the OC experience for others. That includes loud noises, disrespectful behavior, vandalism, whatever........ If possible, determine what unit the people are staying in--or what unit you think they're in. If they're in the pool or on the grounds or docks, the police are generally pretty quick to arrive. In most cases, if the police have to return to a unit, the renters are asked to leave--actually they are told to leave. They are trained as 'resort police' and know how to handle all kinds of these types of issues. When I called last year, they were here in <2 minutes, and I stayed on the phone with a supervisor until they left the premises--none of the kids involved knew that I called or was overseeing their activities.

CALL FOR HELP--Emergency call 911.

1. Non-emergency OC Police: 410-723-6600 The officers who answer are low key and want to help.

2. Vantage for parking or other issues if you're sure it's a Vantage renter: CALL LANCE STITCHER, VANTAGE GM, 410-723-1780 X120 OR CELL: 443-685-4829. 3. Call the owner of the unit: NO owner wants to be responsible for damages or issues caused by people in their units, including their own kids or grandkids. 4. Call Ocean Point: 410-213-7144 After hours you will get an answering machine, so this is the least effective course of action.

After the fact, we can followup with the owner of the unit in writing. This is best handled by Ocean Point, so you'll need to advise Steve or Connor. I prefer not to be involved unless I'm in OC and I see the activity. Ocean Point knows how to handle these issues and they'll tie me in along the way. Everyone, please Print this and save it for reference and USE IT when needed. Jim Cell: 443-280-1002

Please look at the Spring Work schedule memo below from Jim Molesworth, President Quarters at Marlin Cove Condo Association. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Connor Braniff, Property Manager, Ocean Point at 410-213-7144 or work e-mail: oceananswer@gmail.comHi, Work on the canal side balconies will begin this week--the week of April 11. If you've not already done so, please remove any furniture from the balcony that you can. Otherwise, the workers will do their best to cover it up and work around it while repairs are underway. Most of the work will be on the walls, not on the floors, so in most cases, if you can't remove the furniture, just consolidating it in the middle will help.As noted before, 21 of the 36 units will be undergoing repairs to the concrete, but workers will be on almost every balcony because all of the 'I' joints (intersection of balcony to separating wall) will be repaired.I assume that canal side parking in the garage will be blocked off, but to eliminate any risk to your vehicle please park in the outside lot or on the pool side of the garage. There will be dust, falling debris, and water runoff from powerwashing.In addition, sometime this Spring (I don't have a schedule), additional repairs will be made to the garage ceiling mostly in the western bays. This will necessitate closing down the garage for a few days.If you have any questions, please call Ocean Point, 410-213-7144. or me.Thanks for your help, Jim Molesworth President Quarters at Marlin Cove Condo Asso.

Updates regarding the Timeshares from Ocean Point Management - December 23, 2010- I went over and double checked the thermostats to make sure they were at a reasonable level. If the units were unoccupied I reduced the heat to 55 degrees to save the association money. Additionally, unplugged all electronic devices from the electrical sockets as that draws electricity even when not in use. I left clocks and cable boxes plugged in as well as major appliances, but mainly did coffee makers etc. - During my inspection of all the units I found that several sliding doors were not closed due to negligence or would not lock due to mechanical problems. I had Austin service and repair all sliding doors in all of the units to ensure they are in good working order and lock properly. - I also removed some signs that were plastered all around on a few of the units. Austin had to remove some of the remaining adhesive with special spray and a putty knife..but that was taken care of. - The linens have been completely inventoried by the cleaning staff. I took the liberty of touring the units with my Father, who has supplied some of the linens over the years. We found that while some are old and stylishly outdated (open to interpretation) and not particularly fancy, the remaining linens were in very good shape. He advised that upgrades to 100% cotton sheets etc. would make the sheets softer, but would require ironing to prevent wrinkles which would be inadvisable. He said the towels could be upgraded if the association wishes, but with the high iron content of Ocean City water they would wear rather quickly even when relatively new. I propose replacing linens as we need, as the association's money situation is not adequate to do a large overhaul of the linens. Overall, we were both very impressed with the condition and cleanliness of the units. In his opinion the units were nicer than most of the timeshares he had ever been in, and the cleanliness of the units were the best he had ever seen.Connor J.
